The research division Chemical Process Engineering and Energy Technology deals with processes in the areas of sustainable production of chemicals and fuels, including technologies for utilization of CO2, H2, and waste materials. We research on mass- and heat-transfer phenomena, catalyst compositions and reaction kinetics for design and optimization of chemical reactors and processes.

Our target is bridging fundamental research and industrial application.
